And starting with Tunnel of Love. Wonder if we'll hear anything from The River? And cue the John Lennon clip.

BOS, TOTHC Knopfler works for me. Let the cube dancing commence.

I predict your predictions come true. Early BOS for "Tunnel of Love", HM to Mr Knopfler's nod to Rodgers & Hammerstein..

You mean the one of Howard Cosell announcing his murder on MNF?
P.S. What distinguishes a "murder" from an "assassination"? Does the latter necessarily imply political office?

She said, "You are the Perfect Stranger."
And she said, "Baby, let's keep it like this."

It necessarily implies a politically charged motive, as opposed to a more simple murder for economic profit.
ETA: If Lennon had been a visible spokesman for some cause that Mark David Chapman had been opposed to, then it could have been called an assassination. But if the killer is hearing voices that is generally ruled out.

Taking me back to the recent Mtn. Winery show. I feel very fortunate to have world class venues so close to home and wonderful artists that come to the Bay Area to play for us.
Thank you Mr. Knopfler!

Yeah, that one.

I think to be assassinated you have to be a fairly prominent public figure. Politicians and Beatles qualify, in my book.

Dave has many Lennon clips in his library... any one will do.

Adlai Stevenson was a force to be reckoned with in 1980? I thought no one went madly for Adlai after 1957?

I recently read something somewhere discussing this very topic. Unfortunately, the I read so many things on the web these days that I can't remember for certain where I read it.
Assassination happens to important people (MLK was assasinated, though he didn't hold public office). Murder happens to average people (almost wrote "average joes" until I realized whom I was replying too). Random deaths happen to poor people.

Very good point, Ali - thanks for reminding us all. :D

BOS2 "Stop Your Sobbin'". May have to elevate this above the Straits tune. Best way to meet your dream man: record one of his songs.
-
3 songs in and it's all good to very good. Keeping my fingers crossed.
But not holding my breath.
-

Huh?
Did I completely mishear a news clip that I thought was about Adlai? I'm listening while reading, so maybe I completely missed the mark here.

I had the EXACT same thought, but couldn't type fast enough to get the Jinx in.
-
Second U2 song in two days. Could this have something to do with their two upcoming shows not being sold out?
I'd expect we'll start hearing more Rolling Stones cuts in a week or two, same reason.

Worked for Arthur Conley!

Yay, Beatle.
Soothing melody

Death, language and its relationship to class. Tue, October 18, 2005 - 7:42 AM
I was listening to NPR this morning, or at least half listening and in my random morning fog I heard a report on an assassination attempt on Sadam Hussein. To be frank I'm not sure if it is something current or a discussion on a past attempt, but I thought to myself 'Well he's not a leader anymore so wouldn't it be a murder attempt?'
This got me thinking. An assassination is 'To murder (a prominent person) by surprise attack, as for political reasons.' What makes one prominent? Why is it that a mayor is assassinated, the wife of a lawyer is murdered, and a resident of a housing project might have been killed or may have died from gun shot wounds?
It may be that this rhetorical resident was in fact a major obstacle in the way of some drug dealer because she would call the police when witnessing a deal or she would rally the other residents to begin a neighborhood watch program. To these locals, she might have a greater affect than a foreign leader, yet if the dealer plotted to end her life, she might be reported as having been killed rather than assassinated.
Just a thought.

It used to be true that you couldn't be assassinated unless an actual assassin (i.e. trained professional) killed you. But it would have been interesting to see what they would have said if John Hinckley Jr. had succeeded. Cuz that boy was nuts.
It would also have been intersting to see what would have happened if we only got as much out of Reagan as we got out of Harding. Maybe there's a parallel universe where that is true & someday I can go there.

I'd rather hear Metallica.
-
BOS #3 Jeff Beck. And my top pick so far.
Not a bad set if halfway thru Lennon is the weakest tune/biggest Katrina.
-
a bos for me! is it jeff beck?

Well, we'd've gotten Bush One 8 years sooner. Whether he'd've gotten re-elected in '84, I dunno.
-
a bos for me! is it jeff beck?
Me three. It is indeed--Star Cycle, I think.
-
a bos for me! is it jeff beck?
Yes, from There & Back, which I still have on a cassette I made my freshman year in college in 1980, the flip side of which is Gaucho. Makes for a great listen on an auto-reverse deck.

Little Steven on Sunday nite:
"People laughed when I said 'if the Stones were starting out today, radio wouldn't play them'. And then a good new Stones album came out and... nobody's playing it."
-

With Jan Hammer.
BOS of a pretty fine '80 set so far.
-
Look! Up in the sky! It's a Doobie! No, it's a Dupree! No -- it's the Pointer Sisters! HM just for the surprise.
-
oooohhhh, jeff will have to split the vote with the pointer sisters!
-
OMG! BOS3 to the Pointers channelling the Doobies. Is this a breakout? Kudos, Dave! There WERE black folks in the Top 40 in 1980 after all!
ETA: I emailed Dave to say this makes up for Color Me Badd.

ha! good on you! vhm to squeeze!
-
We're getting a lot more early Squeeze on all the shows lately (or is it just me?). I remember Dave used to trot this stuff out a LOT, rarely does any more. BOS to "Pulling Mussels From a Shell" just for those subtle harmonies on the lead-in to the refrain. Which one of them has the low-buzz-hum vocal technique?
-
VHM Squeeze for rhyming "Waikiki" with "creepy".
I had a friend named Michelle who thought this was called "Pulling Muscles for Michelle".

Chris Difford, I think. Tilbrook is the higher, poppier voice singing lead.

"Pulling Muscles for Michelle".
Could be a porn flick.

Was he? I thought the consensus was that he's been faking it all this time in order to have an easier quasi-prison life. That said, take me with you if you find that alternate universe! And Rod, thanks for posting that bit on the relationship of language to class -- that's been a meta-interest of mine for some time.

This brings back the year!

So I guess Rod, Urth & I all have this album. Side 1, Track 1.
OOoohhh, another BOS for the clip from Altered States. Professor Eddie Jessup was William Hurt's first screen role. Ken Russell directing a Paddy Chayefsky sreenplay. That's a lot of talent.
-

I think the consensus (what with the Jodie Foster obsession & all) is that he wasn't exactly sane. But it being a Presidential assassination attempt, America was outraged that the insanity defense was allowed at all.
-

Mine cut out, about 10 notes into Narada. Let me know if I missed anything -- it'd be my luck to miss Dave closing with "Pilot of the Airwaves."

Great Jodie quote in EW, regarding being an aging actress in H'wood: "I want to play all those roles that Simone Signoret played when she got old."

You betcha--prog rock at its finest. Saw Beck and an extremely hot band at the Greek in Sept of 1980. Then saw Yes (with the Buggles subbing for Jon Anderson & Rick Wakeman) the next week, and the Kinks the night after that. Rocktober indeed.

yay! making plans for nigel!

Narada was good, but it's T.M. Stevens that makes this song. I think we've covered this territory last time, but that was a damn fine bass performance.
-
Rocktober indeed.
remember when every radio station called it "Rocktober"? Wow, that's a flashback.
-

"Making Plans For Nigel" & "Pulling Mussels From A Shell" are always inextricably linked in my mind.
Maybe Dave's too.

"Pulling Nigel for Michelle"?
-
A Clunker-free set. "Strange but Likeable" sez Dave.
Yo Dave! Listen to your inner Deejay. 'Strange' is good! 'Normal' is boring!
-

It makes sense out here tho, since a lot of the bands that have been touring the east and the midwest all summer finally hit the west coast in October. Still holds true, although this year Sept was as busy.

i won't tell you where pottybrain went with that.
